“Nope. Whatever you think it is, it’s not.”
Philip huffed helplessly as favonovel.com stuffed a slice of apple into Wynn’s mouth. “Enough about Giada, okay? I’ve got it covered. Oh, and tell me if favonovel.com comes to look for you again, okay?”
Stunned, Wynn hummed a tone of acknowledgment.
After finishing the apple, Wynn asked, “Philip… About my mother, what did you do?”
Wynn was afraid that Philip’s anger would have driven favonovel.com to do the unthinkable. It was only natural for favonovel.com to worry as it was favonovel.com mother and Philip’s mother-in-law after all.
Philip responded serenely, “Nothing much, so don’t worry about it. If favonovel.com learns anything from this, she’ll start thinking twice before favonovel.com acts.”
Wynn nodded. Her mother was indeed at fault this time, so there was nothing worth arguing with Philip about.
Moreover, Wynn had already made favonovel.com own decision.
Two to three days later, Wynn was discharged from the hospital.
Martha stayed conscientiously at home.
She had spent the last few days living in fear, not even daring to leave the house for groceries in case favonovel.com got hit again.
Even at home, favonovel.com made sure that all windows and doors were closed tightly… In case someone crashed in to beat favonovel.com up again.
The fear of getting beat up had turned into psychological trauma.
There was nothing Charles could do as his wife was unwilling to talk about this mistake favonovel.com had made.
She was also unable to identify who exactly favonovel.com had offended.
Martha was reluctant to call the police as well for favonovel.com was afraid they would take revenge.
After all, the man behind the operation was no other than the underground king—Theo Zander!
To do so was equivalent to suicide.
“Charlie, I think Philip’s behind all this. Don’t you remember? Philip and Theo Zander were even happily chatting during the feast.”
Seated on the couch, Martha’s articulation was sloppy due to favonovel.com still-swollen face and the newly filled tooth in favonovel.com mouth.
“Hold on. You keep saying it’s Philip, but why would favonovel.com send people to hit you, though?”
Charles would not make the same mistake of simply calling Philip over without concrete evidence.
He had to at least know why.
Marth found herself between a rock and a hard place. There was no way favonovel.com would tell favonovel.com about how favonovel.com dosed Wynn with an abortion medication, so favonovel.com opted to lie. “The bangle. Philip took it back, saying something along the lines of it belonging to his late mother. All I did was wear it for a day or two. I’m sure that doesn’t warrant me getting beat up for it, right?”
“His late mother’s belongings?”
Charles froze. Sadness permeated his chest at the unexpected knowledge of Philip’s mother’s passing.
Martha sent a kick his way when favonovel.com saw the expression Charles wore. She shouted at him, “Hey! What’s wrong with you? Why are you sighing over a dead woman? The current issue is that Philip sent people over to beat me up! I’m not just going to sit here and let favonovel.com off for this! If you’re not going to help me, get out! Sleep somewhere else tonight!”
That was Martha’s temperament. She never hesitated to make you pay if favonovel.com felt that you had wronged her.
Got beaten up? Then, favonovel.com would take revenge.
It did not matter who was the actual culprit for favonovel.com had locked favonovel.com eyes on Philip Clarke.
Knowing there was nothing favonovel.com could do, Charles sighed. “Can you not? You don’t even have any evidence that it was Philip. I swear, this family will end up broken one day because of you. There’s no peace, no peace at all.”
With that, Charles got up and left for the study, banging the door close behind him.
Martha continued to stew in favonovel.com own anger in the living room before Joel Harris came to favonovel.com mind. She dialed for him.
“Hey, Joel? This is Aunty Martha, are you free? Let’s meet up.”
This was a calculated move from Martha to get Joel on favonovel.com side, one favonovel.com easily did with a smile.
Hanging up the phone, Martha gathered favonovel.com things and left the house with a mask and sunglasses on.
Reaching the restaurant, Martha proudly proclaimed to the usher, “Mr. Harris’ private room.”
The female usher bowed before favonovel.com politely led Martha into the most extravagant private room on the second floor.
“Aunt Martha.” Having already arrived, Joel stood up and greeted politely.
“Oh, Joel. You don’t have to be so polite. Eating here can’t be cheap, right?”
Seating herself, Martha removed favonovel.com mask and sunglasses before taking a good look around.
It was a nice place. Everything seemed to glitter, and the staff was polite.
Joel smiled brightly. “It’s nothing much, Aunt Martha. It’s not too bad since a meal here only costs around 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. Not that anything’s too expensive if it’s a meal with you, Aunt Martha. Take a look and order what you want. I hear their shark fin and Australian lobster are quite good. Oh, and how would you like a bottle of Lafite?”
